James Hagens: a debate for the first overall pick ? - 2025 NHL Draft

If I had 1st overall today, I'm taking Porter Martone.

I'm with you. As much as I like Hagens, Martone has all the tools PLUS the size PLUS the "it" factor. I'm also leaning toward him.

I also won't be surprised if Schaefer ultimately ends up higher (than Hagens) on my board. I'm a huge believer.

Schaefer is also a year younger than Martone and one of the youngest players in the class.

Shaping up to be a 2014 kind of draft, where any of 4 guys could be ranked first depending who you ask (Hagens, Martone, Schaefer, McQueen)

Me too honestly, I've loved his game every time I've seen him play

Hagens has #1C potential though, could reach Jack Hughes levels

If players live up to their potential - which top-6 is better?

Slafkovsky-Hagens-Demidov
Caufield-Suzuki-Dach/Laine/Hage

or

Slafkovsky-Suzuki-Demidov
Caufield-Dach-Martone

If Dach solidifies himself as a legit 2C this year I actually prefer the latter deployment. 2 huge guys on Caufield's line and 3 big guys in the top-6

While y'all posting soliloquies about Martone, I decided to watch him closely in the first period.

I'll have to chant the choir. Have a hard time seeing him as anything less than a top 5 pick.

McQueen looking real good for where the Habs could realistically pick. Someone who can actually put pucks in the net.
